Nope, Mamarazzi hadn't gone nuts. I know it's not the season for Mooncakes nor Bak Chang. She made these specially for a friend from Aussie who came back for a visit. Hmm.... entah orang Dubai ada jeles ke tidak?

Arranged to have Thai Food as the friend long for Thai Food.

All in a happy mood except me. .. Mamarazzi said am in the pubescent mood. Very moody and hard to get me to have photo. Mamarazzi also lazy to snap photos la. Therefore the food photos in this post is from Auntie Claire.

Basil leave minced meat. First time having this. I thought not spicy but surprise surprise... spicy la. Hmm...must ask Mamarazzi to try cooking this the non-spicy version.

Busy doing what ar...hmm...the usual lo...boiling Kdrama and Mainland drama. Finished "On The Way to Airport" and "Boss and Me". The former was good but not "wow" but the latter was really hilarious.

Anyway, on top of boiling drama, Mamarazzi FB on how to make Keropok Lekor. Since the recipe seems simple enough..Mamarazzi immediately went to hunt for the necessary ingredients the next day.

Recipe calls for Sardines fish and Sago Flour. Have to de-bone the fishes. Very tedious work😰 and not much meat .

Blend the meat using a blender and add some iced water with a pinch of salt.

Then add some Sago flour to the fish paste mixture. According to the recipe, the portion is 2:1. (200g meat : 100g flour).

After mixed everything evenly, it's time to rock 'n roll.

Rolled Keropok Lekor ready to go for a swim in the wok.

Nice hot bath. It's cooked once it floated up .

Cooling on the tray before Papa eat. Usually Keropok Lekor are fried after this but Papa eats it as it it.

Papa said too chewy. Too much Sago flour. Mamarazzi posted up in FB and her friend told her to change to recipe to 6:3:1 (Sago Flour : Tapioca Flour : Wheat Flour). A friend made some keropok lekor using the improved recipe and found them just nice.

Conclusion to recipe....well....will not make unless desperate la. A lot of work and the total cost not really cheaper than buying ready made Keropok Lekor. The bright side is that the head and tail of the fish can be use by Mamarazzi to make FAA(fertiliser) for her plants.

Apart from trying out new recipe, she is also busy planting. Seedlings and cups of plants are everywhere in the garden, under the trees and in the car porch.

Yup! preparing for the 4th Bukit Jelutong Plant Exchange. It will take place next Saturday. Here is the details of venue and time :-

1. all participants are welcome(pls support for a greener world n a healthy get together). Kindly label your plants so that the adoptive parents know what it is.2. Please bring your own bag to avoid waste3. Recycle- please bring your unwanted pots or containers so that we can use for the next event.

The Plant Exchange is open for all. You can bring a plant/some plants to the exchange to be adopted. In return, you can adopt some plants home. If you do not have plants to contribute, no problem. You can still adopt some plants home. Don't be shy. Do come and join this event. The organisers are cute as teddy bears. No fierce tigers there. Come early ya coz from past event experience, by 11am, most plants would be gone. Early birds gets the early worms. P/s: If you are using WAZE , there are 2 PappaRich at Bukit Jelutong. Make sure it's the one at Jalan Serambi U8/24 ya.

Harvested this foot long okra yesterday. Papa ate it raw. Still young. Not harden yet.

But no problem la...Cikgu whatsapps the night before asking if any parents would like to sponsor drinks and immediately got volunteers.

Fun fun fun! on top of food and drinks...Mamarazzi also let me bring balloons to school. At first she was worried that we can't blow the balloons . One mommy jokingly said can ask Cikgu L to blow..*LOL*. Yes, Cikgu L came into our class and we had balloon blowing competition.

End of the day, there were a lot of junk food to be distributed. Yup...Cikgu didn't let us eat the junk food. Instead , it was kept at one corner. End of the day, we distributed the junk food to bring home. It will be up to the parents whether to let us have junk food or not.

I may not be good in study but distributing food and organising these am number 1...according to Cikgu la. *LOL*

Mamarazzi had to laugh when she saw this. Takes 3 to get a mop to mop the class.

Papa was not around. So I told Mamarazzi not to cook dinner. Sure there will be leftover food from the class party. Our teacher very clever too. Told us to bring 2 empty containers. One to use as "plate" to eat in class and the other is to "tapau" excess food home.

I "tapau" fried rice, fried chicken, nugget and sausages home. Also jelly and muffin for Papa to eat when he come back.

Recently, Mamarazzi got to know a friend (Mr Low) through Bukit Jelutong Plant Exchange. He is an avid adenium lover.

He told Mamarazzi that he got his adeniums very cheaply from morning market at Taman Eng Ann Klang . And oh boy...the photos he posted in his FB ...wow... so beautiful . But sorry ya, Mamarazzi not posting it here without his permission.

Anyway, last weekend we went there to have a look.

According to Mr Low, people come to buy adenium as early as 5.40am. If not mistaken, this stall opens from Sunday to Friday. Saturday, the boss will go to the nurseries and source adenium plants.

Hence, people would come very early on Sunday to choose adeniums with beautiful roots/caudex. Yes, adenium is not only prized for their flowers but also the caudex and roots. The more complicated , the pricier it is.

What's the price range? Well, according to Mr Low who is a regular there...those on the table are premiums ones and cost around RM25 to RM30 a pot. Still it's much cheaper than some nurseries that Mamarazzi went to.

See! So beautiful .

Those on the floors are priced between RM8 to RM18. If not mistaken the RM8 to RM10 are not grafted. No tag and colors unknown. Sometimes you will get surprising colors . Just like Mr Low who got a pot for RM6 which turn out to be multipetals yellow blooms.

The grafted ones are between RM16 to RM18 depending on the type. Sometimes they grafted two types of flowers in one plant.

The one the boss was pointing to was RM25 only and it's multi petal bloom. Mamarazzi was "late" that morning. Those blooming with flowers were grabbed up by the early birds.

However, Mr Low was there. He helped Mamarazzi choose a few. The trick learnt from Mr Low is that to choose the ones that you think you want and put one side first or else it would be grabbed by other. After that, can bargain with the boss for a lower price.

Now Mamarazzi is looking forward to the blooms. To seed what surprise is install.

After "borong-ing" the adeniums, we went to nearby BKT restaurant for breakfast. The famous Restaurant Mo Sang Kor. Didn't eat much coz not really suit our taste buds.

Speaking of buds... it seems like my "big" tooth "buds" is coming up. Back gums are swollen and painful .

Feeling feverish and coughing too. Hope it will be okay soon.

Oh ya...the location of the adenium stall is right in front of Pasar Persendirian Eng Ann Enterprise, Lorong Kasawari 4, Taman Eng Ann, Klang. It's operated by an old man.
